Wrong, and by a big margin. Previously posted:
DID YOU KNOW ? – University of DaytonUD won more games than any other school in both the 1950’s and 1960’s.
UD won 435 games between 1950 and 1969 and ranks among the top teams of the 1950s and 1960s in Division I history. The Flyers' .763 (228-71) winning percentage in the 1950s ranks fifth in the decade. Their .729 (207-77) winning percentage ranks eighth in the 1960s.

Averaging a # 7 national ranking for 20 consecutive years is a feat that no other Catholic university has ever accomplished.
No way these rankings are accurate if they have UNC over Marquette for the 70s. We had a better winning percentage and success in the tournament during that span. There's some bs in this list.
After looking at Dayton's average ranking for the 50s and 60s in the AP I have confirmed that this list is malarkey Dayton averaged a ranking of 11.7 but only appeared in 26% of the possible polls during that span. What's killing you is the 60s, during the 50s you average out to rank 10th during the 60s you fall to 49th.
